As the only single-digit seed in San Antonio, Kansas is supposed to have an easy path to the Final Four. Then again there's a one-in-three chance KU doesn't get to Houston and that Florida State, Richmond, or VCU will be there instead.

John and Ken talk about just how surprising Butler's presence here really is, what Brian Zoubek means to Duke's chances (no, seriously), what Brad Stevens might learn from West Virginia's otherwise lopsided loss, and how smug Ken's computer will be if the Blue Devils win.

You'll hear a lot about West Virginia and Duke this week and, frankly, some of what you hear will be wrong. Ken offers two preemptive corrections for the conventional wisdom regarding these two very good teams.

Just because Michigan State and Butler are surprises in Indy doesn't mean they don't have a relatively good chance to win it all. Still, be sure to tune in for West Virginia-Duke, which will feature what may be the two strongest teams to have shared the same court in 2009-10.

The Midwest was supposed to be the "Bracket of Death," and so it was--for Kansas, Georgetown, and Maryland. The bracket now matches Ohio State against Tennessee, while in the Midwest's other semifinal Michigan State will face Northern Iowa.

Fresh off their dismantling of Gonzaga, the Orangemen head to Salt Lake City to meet Butler, while Kansas State faces Xavier in the other West semifinal. Can Jim Boeheim's team continue piling up the makes and points all the way to Indianapolis?

After a wild, thrilling, and sometimes stunning weekend of hoops, Ken says the probabilities now show a clear separation between the top four teams and the rest of the field. Not that those four "favorites" can rest easy, of course.

The Blue Devils' allegedly soft bracket has been the topic of much discussion and even some conspiracy theories. It may not be the Midwest, but a closer look reveals that Mike Krzyzewski and his team aren't in Indy just yet.

Ken kicks off our Championship Week with a look at the second ever 16-team Big East tournament. Syracuse is the favorite, but Villanova and West Virginia should definitely keep things interesting. Oh, and did we mention Notre Dame's suddenly playing defense?

The A-10, CUSA, Mountain West, and WAC are all nourishing at-large aspirations this March. In his latest Championship Week preview, Ken assesses the likely winners and losers in these four league tournaments.

If the calendar says March, it must be time for Ken Pomeroy's log5 projections for the nation's conference tournaments. Our first batch includes the America East, A-Sun, Big Sky, Big South, MAAC, Northeast, OVC, Patriot, Summit, and Sun Belt. Enjoy.

Kentucky Week continues with a spirited debate between Ken and his own rating system, which currently pegs UK as the ninth-best team in the country. So how good are the Cats, really? Pull up a chair as Ken and his hard drive hash out their differences.
